I live in another country, far from family, friends, and everything I know. The school was a far away, work took up my whole day, and loneliness weighed heavily on me. It wasn't easy. There were days when everything felt like too much - the stress, the exhaustion, the lack of someone to share things with. That's when photography came into my life.
I started taking pictures as a way to cope with what I was feeling. Its was my scape, my refuge.But not everyone believed in this path. I still remember a class where someone took a photo of mine and said I would never be a professional. That hurt - but it also sparked something inside me.
I used others` doubts as fuel. I kept going, studying, working hard. Little by little, photography stopped being just an outlet and became my purpose. I discovered that behind every image there's a story - and telling those stories with sensitivity and truth is what drives me.
Today, every clicks is a form of expression.
Every session is an exchange. And every person who trusts me is helping write this journey.
If I could leave one message for those starting out or facing challenges, it would be this: Never stop believing in what you are capable of. Only you know your limits. And when no one else believes... believe for yourself.
